The Standard Oil and Tobacco cases put the Sherman anti-trust law to the most crucial test to which it has been subjected during the twenty years of Its existence. The corporation tax case, place on trial the power of the federal government over corporations. The contention has been ' made that If the Standard Oil and the Tobacco organizations are dissolved the government will be forced to license cor porations In order to allow legitimate busi ness to be carried on.

Although the Tobacco cane Is to be ar gued first, the Standard OH suit has at tracted more attention.

' These sixty-five, It wan alleged, owned the stock of forty-nine other companies, mak ing a total of 114 companies. The govern ment asked that this organization be dls-' solved under the Sherman anti-trust law. A year waa taken by the four Judge. In the circuit court to pas. on the case. Ry unanimous agreement, a decree was entered by the court dissolving the -organization both because It wan In "restraint of Inter state commerce" and because It was "at tempting to monopolize." Pefore the de cree became effective an appeal carried the case to the supreme court. The tobacco case waa Instituted ln 1907 In the circuit court of the I'nlted Stute for the Southern district of New York. The government here. too. waa the complaining party. Allle. In the various branches of the tobacco business, with combined asset, of more than 4)0,OM.Oi0. constituted the or ganization which the government .ought to have the court dissolve. The four Judge, each rendered .eparate oplniona In the tobacco case, but three of them united in a decree, holding many of the coriKiratlon. had entered Into a com bination "In restraint of trade" In vlolatinn of the first section of the StiTinan anti trust act.

Army Man Uses Alum to Aid Test; No Test Friend Advises Captain Rnssell to Use Alum and Alcohol on Feet He Can't Walk. WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. (Special Tele gramsCaptain Robert I Russell, Judge advocate general of the navy, Is confined to his home with a pair of very sore feet, but when he Is able to be about there Is likely to be trouble for that obliging friend who prescribed an easy means of making the fifty-mile physical test prescribed by navy regulation, an agreeable one. "By the simple application of a little alum and alcohol to the feet," this friend told him, "the feet become hardened, so that it Is the rarest pleasure to walk and walk. When you have traveled fifty miles you want to start over again and walk another fifty miles. Alum and alcohol are the walker', delight." PIERRE TO OFFER BIG PRIZES City Announce.

I GRAZING IN NATIONAL FORESTS Court in New Mexico Upholds Author ity of Secretary of Agriculture. MISAPPREHENSION OF STOCKMEN Dcelalon nf Supreme I onrl that Illegal t.raalnar la nt Crime linen Nn( Bar Civil nltn. WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. -(Special. )-Tho The authority of the secretary of agricul ture to prevent the grazing of live stock on the national forests without a permit has been sustained In New Mexico by ac tion of the federal courts In three cases In which the defendants had caused or permitted stock to trenpasn upon the Alamo fnrent In defiance of the regulations Recaune of the belief w hlch has been cur- rent among stockmen of some localities during the last year that the regulations of the secretary of agriculture, with regard to grazing on the national forests are un enforceable, the New Mexico cane, are re garded by official, of the Iepartment of Agriculture as particularly timely and valu able. The recent disposition to question the validity of the regulation, has evi dently been due to the entirely natural de- sire of the gtocfcmen to assert what fhey'lotig thelr"'rqutesiiivl the Chicago rr supposed, though mistakenly, to he their Northwestern complain, of (now drifts two right, under the law as Interpreted by the 'and three miles long and two feet deep, court.. Secretary Wilson consider, that the j extending at Intervening points along thn effect of the action taken In thn New j line to Sioux City, Bloomfleld, Cfnfton and Mexico case will be to clarify the situation ! Norfolk. materially, and to promote a better under standing of the legal right, of the depart ment. Baala of Misapprehension. The misconception which ha. led the stockmen to suppose they might graze their stock on the national forest without tak- Ing out a permit and paying the grazing fee waa due to the decision rendered by the supreme' court of the United States last March, affirming a decision of the I'nlted States district court for the southern dis trict of California, by Judge Wellborn, that violation of the grazing regulations In not punishable a. a crime. This decision of the supreme court, however, was by an even division of the Justices, and, therefore. did not decide the general question one way or the other, but merely affirmed the decision of the lower court In the particu lar case. The supreme court has granted a rehearing of the caae. In order that the question may be passed upon by a full bench and authoritatively settled, and this rehearing will soon take place. But the authority of thg secretary to prevent grat ing, except ln accordance with his regula tions, does not, It Is pointed out, depend upon affirmation of the power of the gov ernment to punish violation of the regula tion as a crime. Thl. I. made clear by the action In two of the New Mexico case.; while the third case Illustrates the fact that the affirmation of Judge Wellborn', decision by tha supreme court ha. no binding force In case, other than the par ticular one then before the court. Pnnltlve Damages Aaaeaaed. In the cane, of Bam Cope and S. O. Cope, defendants, and of O. W, Jemlgan, de fendant. Injunction, were granted by the federal district court to prevent the con tinued grazing of stock owned by the de fendant, upon the national forests. The ground upon which these Injunctions were granted was not the power of the gov ernment to punish violators of the regu lation, through criminal procedure, but was tha light of the government to bring civil action against th owners of stock which tresirass upon the property of the government. In the Cop case punitive damages were Imposed by the court fur wilful tresiias. In addition to an award of fii for actual damage, sustained The amount of the actual damage waa deter mined by tha finding cf the court-that 1; taiua nr inu grazing pnvllc.'
